I wouldnt take Prednisone in the evening at all. Because its very likely to cause you to not get any sleep. Insomnia is a common side effect of it as is. Let alone when taking it later in the day. I would call my dr's office and ask to talk to the drs nurse and ask her.

H. Martí. Actually it depends upon the dose. If this is a dose pack with 5 mg pills I would spread them out. You feel better and get less flushing and discomfort. Higher doses at night may keep you more awake. Stay away from coffee or other caffeinated beverages past noon and you ought to be ok. I always split doses of twenty and over at morning and before bed. I don't have sleeping problems, however. I have staying awake problems these days. Lol. Be sure you always take prednisone with food. It is a stomach destroyer even on low dose. A glass of milk doesn't do it. Small meal, bowl of cereal or soup will help.

Split them. Dinner time is fine for the evening dose. It makes no difference for treatment levels as prednisone hangs around a good long time.

I've decided to take one with breakfast and one with late afternoon snack. Feel a lot better than I did 2 months ago when I was on the same route. Not as crazy feeling, and head ringing etc. Full of energy but not over the top. I'll be done in 4 days, so hopefully I'll stay healthy for awhile. I feel 90% better than I did a week ago. :)

I'm like part of the family at the office, I had to leave my waiting room for a minute and went I went to go back I walked into the wrong room and the Dr introduced me to the patient she was with as Dr Dorney!! I've been going by that name every since :)
